Ultra-light Ni nanofoams composed of nanowires have been synthesized on a large scale by a facile reflux approach. From the Ni nanofoam, many other functional nanofoams, composed of semi-hollow NiO nanowires, multi-generation ...

Sandwich-like stacked titanate nanosheets with the thickness of ≈0.4 nm are successfully synthesized on a large scale using a clean and facile method. The unique material exhibits superior capacity and excellent high rate ...

Pour a little sugar on it: A simple glucose-assisted hydrothermal method to directly grow MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) on the CNT backbone is reported. Several features of these CNT@MoS2 structures, including high MoS2 content ...

Novel double-shelled CoMn2O4 hollow microcubes with nanometer-sized building blocks have been prepared by a facile co-precipitation and annealing method. In virtue of the unique structural features, the resultant CoMn2O4 ...

Hollow micro-/nanostructures are of great interest in many current and emerging areas of technology. Perhaps the best-known example of the former is the use of fly-ash hollow particles generated from coal power plants as ...

Layered protonated titanates (LPTs), a class of interesting inorganic layered materials, have been widely studied because of their many unique properties and their use as precursors to many important TiO2-based functional ...
